Ünnecessary Ümlaut

This installation was at the Chelsea Art Museum in NY last week. Anybody walking by could text anything to see it projected and acted out from the windows above. Anything. So of course you get things like “art is gay” and “my balls are really sweaty”. Poetry, really.

The artist is Paul Notzold, who does a lot of mobile/interactive projects like “Only Certainty, Death, and TXTs“, the 30 ft skeleton projection that would speak what you texted. Since skeletons don’t have balls, people had to get creative with what they submitted. (via Wooster)
